From Chalkboards to Computers: How Schools Have Changed

(4) K-3 Lightning Bolt Books: Comparing Past and Present series. Boothroyd provides simple then-and-now examinations of schools. It's a kid-friendly approach, but the comparisons are cursory, and the examples are dumbed-down ("Computers help us learn new things." "These days, some people call cafeterias lunchrooms"). Stock photos show present-day people (in color) and past people (in black and white) learning. Mini-biographies are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.
